Southeast Wyoming Could Get Six To Eight Inches Of Snow

Some of the snowfall projections are a little uncertain at this point, but some areas of southeast Wyoming could get over 8 inches of snow by Wednesday evening.

That's according to the Cheyenne Office of the National Weather Service.

The agency posted the following on its website on Tuesday morning:

Winter Storm Warnings have been extended to include all of the southern Nebraska panhandle where the best chance for 6+ inches of snow remains. Lower snowfall totals are expected further north where Winter Weather Advisories are now in effect late Tuesday through Wednesday. Snowfall totals remain uncertain for areas between Cheyenne and Alliance, so the Winter Storm Watch remains in effect with additional updates expected later today.
